Survival Hunter PvP Tips

Survival Hunters PvP builds are without a doubt the most versatile PvP build we Hunters have. The damage is going to be good, we've got a decent Pet for additional backup, damage and bird dogging and the ability to really mess with everyone day is second to none. If you have ever been fighting with a SV hunter that really knew what he (or she!) was doing then you know what I'm talking about!

The Survival Hunters PvP talents are focused on, basically, staying alive long enough to kill your opponent. The key to playing this build effectively is to take full advantage of its strengths and fill the role that presents itself.

The SV Hunter, when played to its full potential, is one of the most handy partners to have around in the Battlegrounds as their ability to stand and defend flags is at least equal to any other build out there. On top of that, in the middle of a fight, their ability to Crowd Control (CC) like crazy can literally change the tide of a battle.

It's doing to depend on the situation and those fighting around you but the main three goals, in order, of a successful SV Hunter will be 1) Crowd Control, 2) Damage 3) Screwing with people. As a good friend of mine, who is an avid Survival Hunter PvP'er, once told me, "You've got to grab someone and step on them, then hurt them really badly really quickly. At the same time stop as many other people from doing what they want to do as possible."

As the Hunter in a group you'll often find yourself a bit back from the action in range so you'll have a much better view of the "big picture" of the battle than, say, a Warrior on the front lines. Use this advantage to help your team and the positive cumulative effect on a battle can be huge. For example, you see a Druid in Cat form rushing one of your Mage... sting that guy. There's an enemy priest standing back and healing the guys your teammates are trying to take out? Step on that Priest! Sting, Clip or Scatter Shot that guy. You see one of your guys getting the snot whipped out of him by a Rogue? Pump a couple of rounds into the Rouge, make him think about something else for a second. The above situations happen one after another...very quickly. Scan the battlefield, find a problem, fix it... wash rinse repeat.

After dropping some CC action and helping a few of your buddies with their problems get your Steady Shot out and start laying out some damage. Work your Steady Shot and Auto Shot rotation to really machine gun the bad guys. Flip back and forth between CC and Damage as the situation dictates.

As for screwing with people it really comes down to trapping which is, of course, basically a form of CC. But screwing with people goes to the next step. You know that one enemy guy in the battle that's really good and just seems to lay waste to everyone? That's your guy. Chain trapping, Clipping, Scatter shot, throwing your pet on him...bug the hell out of that guy. For one he won't be as effective and secondly he'll get mad. People don't play as well when they're mad!
